Johnson timed his ankle ailment to coincide with the start of minicamp while he was demanding a trade in 2008. First, he didn't report any problems to the medical staff during his physical and was cleared to practice. Next he reported his back hurt to the training staff. He then refused to practice. Johnson's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, serendipitously showed up at the same time and reported Johnson needed ankle surgery. His story changed 3 times in the course of a single day. Johnson knew he needed ankle surgery at the end of the 2007 season, but waited until minicamp so he wouldn't have to participate. Plus a surgery would dampen any interest teams would have in seeking a trade for him. So better to pull an Antonio Bryant and just not reveal the injury.
